"I saw a woman eating it one day and it looked scrummy so I asked her what it was. It's a very good liver cleanser, apparently!"

We love that you asked her what it was, Karina, and we're delighted that you did.

Broad Beans Quinoa
This is a delicious recipe for both broad beans and quinoa. It takes less than 15 minutes to make and works well as a delicious lunch or a summer party dish.

Sprouting Broccoli Stir Fry
This is a great way of using in-season sprouting broccoli and end-of-season, stored carrots. My favourite way of eating this is with Thai-style bean curd, but firm tofu or Halloumi cheese both work well, too. It’s a really quick meal – just 10 minutes – yet is filling and tasty.

Butternut squash has such a sweet taste and beautiful texture and this delightfully simple recipe will make a very special ingredient even more divine, with a touch of spice!

And why not give your squash soup a twist by adding a handful of nachos and a generous sprinkling of grated cheese as a topping.

Thai Style Squash Curry
This curry is easy to make and pretty quick. Just make the paste, chop the veggies and cook it all in a wok (or large frying pan) with the coconut milk. Works well with pumpkin, too.

Mini Carrot Cakes
This carrot cake recipe takes just ½ an hour from start to eating and they're really easy to make. Kids love them and the grown-ups don't take much persuading either! So if you've got some carrots to use up, it's time to get baking.
Top tip: These are great for Hallowe'en or a bonfire night party!

Broccoli Recipes

Broccoli & Kale Stir Fry
This is a great recipe for a quick lunchtime stir fry. It uses broccoli and kale (or dark-leafed cabbage or spinach) because these are so rich in nutrients. It can easily be adapted to have a Japanese style, if you prefer.

Sprouting Broccoli With Toasted Sesame Seeds
This takes literally a couple of minutes to cook and tastes delicious. Stir frying is a great way of preparing fresh, young sprouting broccoli and the flavour goes really well with the sesame seeds and tamari.

Broccoli And Peanut Butter Soup
This might sound like a strange combination, but it works really well. You can use mature broccoli heads or sprouting broccoli for this recipe – whatever you’ve got to hand.

Cracked Bulgar Wheat With Broccoli & Cream Cheese Sauce
This is a lovely recipe which makes a great lunch.
Cracked bulgar wheat is easy to cook and is available even in supermarkets nowadays. If you don't have any, you can substitute couscous or quinoa.
This recipe works well with tenderstem broccoli (picked before full heads form) or purple sprouting broccoli, later in the year.
